Aim and Scope
Distributed Complex Systems (e.g., Systems of Systems - SoSs) are gaining momentum due to the
widespread adoption of Internet of Things (IoT) technologies and the increasing interest for smart cities,
digital twins, and industrial cyber physical systems. The heterogeneity and large scale of these systems
require novel design techniques, architectures and software infrastructures able to integrate independent
(sub)systems to support their seamless cooperation and to address their emergent behaviors.
In addition, the continuous servicing process enabled by the recent micro-services paradigm leads to rely on
evolving approaches able to anticipate, mitigate, or react to unplanned scenarios.
Each part of a Distributed Complex System can both exist as an independent entity and become part of wider
systems when needed.
This vision radically changes the notion of “integrated” system:
(a) (sub)systems offer limited interaction capabilities and little possibility to be governed by other entities;
(b) cooperation can be ad-hoc and only needed in specific cases or conditions;
(c) in many cases there is no prior, complete, knowledge of the (sub)systems;
(d) the behavior can be partially unplanned to follow environment or requirement changes.
The goal of this Special Issue is to bring together researchers and practitioners working on the design,
the development, the validation, and the continuous maintenance of Distributed Complex Systems
(e.g., SoSs, MultiAgent Systems, Adaptive Systems, Ambient Intelligent Systems).
Indeed, topics on dynamic modules integration, autonomous reaction to unplanned or dynamic scenarios,
or dynamic evolution of operational and managerial assets are in the scope of this special issue.

___________
Submission Guidelines:
Authors should prepare their manuscript according to the Author Guidelines for the journal “Software: Evolution and Process”,
and that are available at: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/page/journal/20477481/homepage/forauthors.html <https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/page/journal/20477481/homepage/forauthors.html> .
The manuscripts and any supplementary material should be submitted through the editorial system at: https://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/jsme <https://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/jsme> .
By following the submission instructions, please select “Distributed Complex Systems: Governance, Engineering, and Maintenance” when required by the system.
All the papers will be peer-reviewed following the reviewing procedures in place for the journal “Software: Evolution and Process”.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere. If the submission is an extended work of a
previously published conference or workshop paper, you must submit a cover letter detailing:
1) the “Summary of Differences” between the Conference/workshop paper and extended version paper
2) a clear list of “new and original” contributions in the extended version paper (identifying sections where they are proposed/presented)
3) confirmation of the percentage of new material (at least 30%), and
4) the related previously published conference/workshop papers.
